Wire for Shinkeijime / Ikejime - YOSHIMI - 1.2mm Length: 80cm
The Shinkeijime / Ikejime is a Japanese technique of chopping fish, keeping them fresh and of better quality for longer. It is a very common technique in Japanese cuisine, due to the large consumption of raw fish, as in the case of the sashimi and sushi preparation.
The technique consists of inserting a pointed metal object into the fish's head, usually a little behind and above the eyes, causing the immediate death.
A wire is then introduced into the spinal cord in order to cease the involuntary movements.
Finally, the fish bleeding is caused through cutting the gills.
When storing the fish in a thermal box, it is recommended to put some ice on the bottom, and newspaper between the ice and fish, avoiding the excessive freezing.
This tool is a very flexible wire cable with the rounded tip, which facilitates sliding through the spinal cord.

・Please note that there may be individual variations in shape, finish, and color due to the handcrafted nature of our knives and the use of natural materials for the handles.
・Do not cut frozen foods or bones with knives that are not specifically designed for that purpose. Doing so can cause significant damage to the blade.
・Do not use a dishwasher for cleaning. It may cause rust and damage to the handle.
・After use, do not leave the knife dirty. Hand wash it with a neutral detergent and then remove any moisture.
・Carbon steel knives are extremely prone to rusting, so clean and dry them promptly. When storing, apply camellia oil to the blade.
・Avoid using simple sharpeners as they can damage the blade. If you must use them, please follow up with maintenance using a whetstone.
